Hi everyone
Just wanted to give a little update must seem a little self obsessed with updates n that. Sat in last saturday night as i think i ve already posted didn't have a single cigarette all week(which is probably the longest ever) and sitting in again this weekend had a few drinks at home tonight and had a few cigarettes, but plan not to smoke during the week - one bit at a time. Realise this is a battle that we are in and am fully comitted to break free of sin - weather i achieve this is another matter but i m going to give it everything that i have - what i picked up from bible reading is that it's really the Lord Jesus's fight only he can set me free from sin but so far no luck maybe i have to clean myself with his help.
After seeing the amazing power of the Lord Jesus i would never doubt him nor his ability to cleanse lives etc and i truely believe nothing is impossible with God however i am puzzled why so many are failing in their walk with God, you just have to look at churches to see that many are failing however these people have the best of intentions they really believe in Jesus and are trying to live good lives however they mostly end up in sin of some sort that Jesus said he would give them the power to overcome. My belief is that the Devil is involved here and is blinding the minds of many but i know that the Lord Jesus has more power and authority that the devil has had or will ever have am just interested if anyone has the secret to overcome.
Just going by browsing this great forum i am under the impression many on here are overcomers and any advice on this would be greatly appreciated
The fruits of the spirit were described in the bible one of these was self control which i seem to have little of in these areas of my life, i believe that only God can give this but how can I obtain the Holy spirit.
Thanks for listening
